How did the Celts fight back?
“I am Boudicca, queen of the Iceni. When my husband died, he left his kingdom both to me and the Roman
emperor, Nero, to share. It was meant to keep the peace between us.”
It is 60AD. The Romans have invaded and taken over much of southern Britain. Some of the native British
tribes have agreed to support and work with the Romans, but others are not so happy. The Roman army is
heading to North Wales, but elsewhere, trouble is brewing - led by Boudicca.
“But the Romans want it all! Nero had me whipped in front of my people. He demands we pay taxes on land
that belongs to us.”
“She is magnificent.”
“Fight with us.”
“I want to fight too. I want to be like Boudicca.”
“No, Beretta.”
“You named me Beretta, Beretta means strong.”
“Yeah, that was a mistake.”
Beretta and her father follow Boudicca and her army. They head for Colchester, an important Roman town,
and burn it to the ground.
“What's your name?”
“Beretta.”
“You live up to your name. And now, onto Londinium.”
